you might also benefit from upgrading your version of java, too. updates might have fixes that will stop exploits like pop-ups and such.

If you are using Internet Explorer, Open it then click on Internet tools and click on privacy tab and then put a check mark in the box where it say's turn on pop up blocker, that should help.

Just to clarify w2as...

If you are sitting idle at your desktop, no web browsers or any other apps running, do the pop-ups occur?

Or do the pop-ups only appear when you are surfing?

The reason I ask is, if you are sitting idle at the desktop and you are getting pop-ups, you have some form of malware still resident on your system.

If the pop-ups are occurring only when surfing, then it sounds like something still needs to be tweaked with your browser pop-up settings and/or security settings.

If you've run AVG, Spybot, Ad-Aware, and other clean-up tools to no avail you might want to consider getting your system looked at by a professional, or a someone you trust locally that is good with computers to root out the cause of the issue.

There is some really nasty malware out there, and sometimes a lot of the popular freeware tools we use to clean up our systems cannot root it out.

Best of luck!
